Wounded animal are charged at the discretion of the stalker and shall be based on his assessment at the time.
We insist all wounded deer where practicable, shall be tracked and recovered, potentially occupying some considerable time the following day should they not be recovered at the time.

Stalking in Scotland offers some of the finest roe deer in the country and whilst we try not to dwell on trophy heads, it is without question, an opportunity for the impassioned stalker to afford himself the opportunity of what could be, a lifetime treat.

Stalking some of the most beautiful arable countryside, you have both top quality shooting combined with easy relaxed walking, ideal for those of us that are less capable of coping with the rigors of a hill stalk.

Equipment.
We insist that all visitors be prepared and dress appropriately.
Good quality clothing and boots are a must as are the appropriate binoculars.

We feel that, whilst we are prepared to take clients of all capabilities, It is a huge help to us, if people are prepared for what might be an uncomfortable stalk.

You are more than welcome to use your own rifle and ammunition which must meet the legal requirements, but if needs be, a suitable rifle can be supplied.

Relative to the clients experience and confidence, it may be that you are asked for proof of zero by demonstration.

Accommodation.

As with all our hunting trips we offer appropriate accommodation and are in touch with a number of suitable establishments to best suit your needs.

When booking your trip, it is best discussed at the time giving us opportunity to find what we believe would best fit your requirements.
